* Tally * of "Ship you'd NEVER cruise on again"....

[Cotton]

OK, before y'all read this - I know. I need a life. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] However, with our TV cable service out tonight, I had little to do. SO......I went to the 'NEVER sail again' thread out of curiosity. There were 98 replies.

Out of those, most of them were chit-chat, or folks saying they liked certain ships, or that they would never sail on NCL, Costa, RCI, etc.

It was nice to see that there are ONLY [B]28[/B] posts where folks actually said they will never cruise certain CARNIVAL ships again.

As far as the Carnival ships' negatives - they are tallied as follows:

Carnivale ~ 2
Celebration ~ 2
Conquest ~ 2
Destiny ~ 2
Ectasy ~ 1
Fascination ~ 1
Holiday ~ 9
Jubilee ~ 5
Mardi Gras ~ 1
Paradise ~ 1
Pride ~ 1
Sensation ~ 1

SO.......What I'm happy to report is that, although there were 98 replies, ONLY 28 were negative toward certain Carnival ships. Not too bad, huh? [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

OK, going to bed now. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Wow! I appreciate your diligence. My only sorrow is to see 5 votes against Jubilee. While it was not my favorite ship, we DID have a super time and met 3 great Cruise Critic families. Would we sail again on Jubilee? Of course, especially out of Tampa.

Way to go, Cotton! I applaud your efforts, as this is something I probably would have done to keep myself busy since I'm not planning a wedding anymore! (having withdrawls) lol, j/k.

I have to add one more vote to the Holiday. I think it was a great ship in its day, but the vibration problems were enough to keep me off of that ship. I will also not try to sail the Ecstasy again. I've like been on it many times, because, like, Carnival hasn't switched its itinerary for a long time. I love the 3 day cruises. I couldn't care less for Ensenada, but it's just the idea of cruising for 3 days instead of vegging out in front of the TV .... its just something fun to do!

I can't say enough good things about the Pride, though. Maybe the Sweetie and I will cruise her again someday :-D

No, Gilligan seems to be away on a three-hour tour, so he didn't get to express his opinion.

[img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] Cotton dear..you are on top of things! I, like Doug have to put a plug in for the Celebration. Even though I've sailed her the one time, she will without a doubt always be my favorite ship!

[guidobiker]

I am curious, did you figure out which ship had the most votes regardless of cruiseline? Great efforts on your part. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Nope. Most of the negatives about other cruiselines were general..."I'll never sail Costa again!", etc. although a few did name ships.

I was sorry to see that the Holiday got the most votes. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] Jubilee second, but after all, they're two of the oldest in the fleet. Since the Holiday got only 9 though, I guess that's still not too bad - since thousands still cruise on her every single week!
